Should I stay or should I go?
I have been with the same company for 7 years (a university staff position )and have been promoted from Buyer to Sr. Buyer in that time. I was recently approached by a recruiter and subsequently offered a position at another university (management) that would be a promotion and bump up in pay close to $30,000 The PTO, insurance, and sick pay are pretty even between the two universities. Here is my issue. I told my boss the same day I was offered the position and he and the university treasurer both asked if I would stay if they could come close to matching the offer. I am currently at a smaller private school and the new job would require a 450-mile move to an area that is more expensive, to work for a much larger state school. I have a lot of autonomy as to what I work on now but I would lose that and would be a member of a team that would be solely focused on the medical scientific contracts and spend.
The team, I am currently on a jump from 5 people to 30. I am currently 100% remote and would be 97% remote in my new position. I have relationships with all areas of my current campus and have worked directly with the board and top leadership another thing that would be different in the new position. I am still waiting for the dollar amount from the counter offer but I have to make a decision in two days and am struggling to decide.

Решить, остаться или уйти, всегда непросто, но иногда небольшой перерыв помогает прояснить мысли и принять правильное решение. Кстати о перерывах — недавно я наткнулся на https://dino-drop.net дино дроп, интересную платформу, где можно открывать кейсы, выигрывать крутые скины и получать ежедневные бонусы. Это отличный способ расслабиться и перезагрузиться, особенно благодаря бесплатным вращениям и розыгрышам, которые делают процесс еще более увлекательным. Если вы чувствуете себя в тупике, возможно, небольшое отвлечение поможет вам сосредоточиться!

Consider staying if they get within 50% of what you have been offerred at the larger university. Due to your moving cost and cost of living it may take you 2-3 years or longer to recoup the move.
If it's ambition thats driving you and you don't see your current job getting you to where you want to be in your career, then consider leaving.

It’s great that your current employer wants to retain you. Wait for the dollar amount, but give your current university a deadline. You obviously can’t wait indefinitely.
Here are some factors to help you decide what to do:
If you stay, will you receive the management promotion as well as the pay increase? And do you want to be a manager or are you mostly concerned about the rate of pay?
If your current university makes you a similar counteroffer, where will you be better off financially, after you factor in living expenses?
Are you happier at a smaller school with a more diverse job, or are you excited about the prospect of working with a larger team on a bigger campus?

So my current employer offered half of the current offer and no title change.

I don’t think that your current employer came close enough. (That’s often the case.)
If you want a promotion and a pay increase, take the new job — provided that it is generally a good move for you and your family.

Consider work/life balance because after reading your post, it seems that you have this in your present job and would be giving up what your hard work has earned you decided to accept the job offer.
